Nebraska received a transfer commitment from a homegrown prospect Saturday, with Omaha North graduate Kevin Williams Jr. announcing his plans to be a Husker.
Williams, a 2017 North graduate, has previously been at FCS program Northern Colorado and still has two years to contribute to Nebraska's offensive line, led by new coach Donovan Raiola.
Williams started 17 games on the interior of Northern Colorado's O-line even as early as his redshirt freshman and sophomore seasons in 2018-19. There is some wide-open competition to be had for the Huskers on the interior of that line, with right guard Matt Sichterman not coming back for a sixth year leaving that starting space open. There's also some wondering still what Cameron Jurgens will decided to do in 2022, which could shuffle the deck further if he were to move on.
Nebraska has had at least one example of recent success with a similar transfer coming in to contribute on the O-line in relatively quick fashion, with Nouredin Nouili arriving to the program from Colorado State in 2020 and busting into the starting lineup at left guard in 2021.
